A Living History Museum

Formed in 1993, the Army Air Forces Historical Association®, based in northern New Jersey, is an historical and educational 501C3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving WWII Army Air Forces History!

The association participates in air shows, historical retrospects, educational programs and seminars throughout the Tri-state area and Pennsylvania, providing static displays of World War II Army Air Forces memorabilia presented by living historians in authentic Air Force uniforms. Their portrayal and the artifacts depict what Army Air Force life was like, when the world was at war and fathers, sons and daughters trained, served and fought in many distant locations.

Our Mission.........

Remember,Respect,​ andHonor!

They were the darkest days of the Second World War: American air crews fought their way to and from heavily defended targets deep inside Fortress Europe and the far reaches of the Pacific. These young men and women fought valiantly and many did not return, but they changed the direction of a terrible war, insuring victory and securing the freedom which we enjoy today. The Army Air Forces Historical Association is dedicated to "Remember, Respect and Honor" their service.

The Army Air Forces Historical Association® consists of volunteers from all walks of life who share a common interest - a desire to help preserve this part of our aviation heritage. For some the interest comes from relatives who served. For veteran members who flew, manned or maintained the famous bomber, fighter and transport aircraft, it is a chance to share their memories with younger generations.

Association members wearing original flight gear and uniforms of the time, are not just re-enactors, but living historians who movingly explain and re-tell the tales of the harrowing experiences of the World War II veterans. We bring to life the war years of the 1940's, that take on a special meaning often lost in history books or films.
